Seems pretty worthwhile:

Bushwacker- I'll take you up on the offer to guide around Stowe sometime this year for sure, thanks. Used to do a winter rental on Cady Hill and hiked up those trails a bit, psyched to get in there on a bike.

Starting to plan a week road trip for late summer early fall with a crew from Portland, ME. The loose plan is 5-7 days of XC riding around NH/VT hitting some of the crown jewels. Kingdom would definitely be one stop, maybe STAB, Millstone, tied in with some music in Burlington in a perfect world. Going to try for the Wilco show.
Suggestions for the targets? Most of us haven't really ridden VT much other than the Kingdom and looking to see 'new to us' zones.

dude seriously, do not skip on STAB!
it's still, so under the radar.
i really think it's the best, most accessible, xc/trail riding in NE.
place flows like water for hours.
no joke!
i can give you guys a tour or suggest route options.

Sorry to clutter with spam, but I picked up some Pearl Izumi Launch Gloves size XL, but they seem to fit more like a large. I paid about 27 shipped, anyone want them for the same price. They're the white/black ones pictured here: http://www.amazon.com/Pearl-iZUMi-14.../dp/B004EPY6SO
I know it's not huge savings, but they still are in the package and I can return them if necessary. I'll do 27 shipped or 23 in person.It's not tragic to die doing what you love.

Just got into Beaver Brook/Rock Meadow in Belmont/Waltham, or the old Met State as the dirty 'ham kids call it. Pretty fun, at least one line was. If you're pressed for time in Northern Metro West it ain't a bad option. I love summer in April, though things are getting stupid dry out there. We need some sustained rainfall and quick.

Drummer Hill didn't suck. Popping a brand new chain did, and got worse when I discovered my multitool's chain tool was out-of-comission. I'm planning on exploring Drummer Hill more tomorrow morning, but it looks like kayaking will be on the docket after that.

no, drummer hill did not suck today. Was out there around 1:30. Was that you and your girl we rode by just past the gate?
found some more flowy trails out there. I don't know my way around there, and just follow a friend each time I go out, but we went some new paths ( at least new to me!) and had a little less hikeabike.
sorry to hear about the chain, that blows.
looking a bit wet, but warm the next few days. Maybe I'll go rowing. Then if (when?) I dump the boat I'll already be wet

No, I was exploring solo. I found the parking on Drummer st when I coasted my way down there, so I think around 1:30 I was hiking up the hill to where I was parked (silver forester).
Way flowyer than much of what I've found so far in Leominster State Forest, and since it's about the same amount of time I think I'll be heading up to Drummer Hill more. Or at least Bitten was, but the other trails coming down into that drainage looked good too, but I really should find someone to chase around there.
It was hot. Somehow I didn't process it was 80 until I was churning up the hill.
At least the chain gave me an excuse to screw around at the bmx jumps in Winchendon after I put it back together.

Rain is good. Knees will rest today, trails will firm up. Please bring more STAB stoke- I am getting psyched to check that out very soon.

back to fall riding gear today. tights and layers and whatnot.
it was worth layering up though.
town trails have really matured over the last two years.
fast and flowy.

Just got back from a ride today, and I plan on riding all weekend long, and unless someone can convince me otherwise (or the paddling is good) I'll be at Drummer Hill.
There is also something lurking in the region that looks like this that I need to find out more about:
